A. C- to Demon - strate Advantage of Drainage; Services Free to Farmers. - ; County Agent Beck is very fortunate In being able to secure the services of Earl Price, drainage specialist of the O. A. C." extension service, for work in this county during the com ing spring. Mr. Price, cooperating with Mr, Beck, will lay out drainage ' systems insofar as his time permits for those people who are actually ready to go ahead with the construc tion of their drain, using the places on which he works as a drainage dem onstration farm. - . Any person in the' county who is intending to drain a piece ot his farm either by tile or open ditch, and is not sure just how he should do It would do well to get in touch with Mr. Beck and ask him to reserve time on Mr. Price's schedule. These services are absolutely free and it is hoped that some good work can be done, Mr. Price will also advise anyone on the construction of Septic tanks both as to location, construction and layout of general equipment. Many people let the supposed cost of septic tank stand in their way of installation. A septic tank, however, can be con structed very cheaply. Many have been constructed for around $25 for an average family. If yon are inter ested, drop a line to the county agent.

The following excerpts were taken from a speech by Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, delivered In the sen ate chamber at Washington, D. C, in answer to M. Clemenceau, famous war premier of France, who visited this country recently and delivered many speeches ln eastern states, urg ing thlB country to aid in threshing out the critical situations that are facing the countries of the old world: It is a pretty serious charge, Mr. President, for a guest although we are very glad to have him here to say to the country which he is visit ing that the fearful misery and un speakable conditions which now ob tain in Europe are the direct result of the dishonorable policy of our coun try, because our action could not be Honorable upon the basis upon which it is presented to ns. We did not leave at a time when we were not permitted to leave, with all due re spect to the view of the Senator from Nebraska (Mr. Hitchcock), and I am perfectly satisfied that the present conditions ln Europe do not arise by reason or our act. I think the state ment made by M. Clemenceau Is as unfounded as It is ungrateful. The United States went to Europe to participate in a war for which In the first Instance the United States was In no sense responsible, a war wnlcn grew ont of the system and policies which had prevailed In Europe particularly for the last 25 years. dlreet result of the policies which ob tained there. The war came aa a re sult of those policies, and it progress ed to sucn a point that the American people took part In It It Is pretty well conceded that hy reason of their participation they assured victory to ,the Allies. We sacrificed hundreds and thousands of American soldiers.

We came home without asking repara tions, damages, territory, compensa tion, or anything else of that nature or kind. Having won the victory or made victory possible, having expend ed vast sums of money nnd sacrificed thonsands of lives, and having left all damages and vast territories to our Allies, we are now told we abandoned our Allies in dishonorable fashion. ' The fourth proposition which seems to be clear from Mr. Clemenceau's speech Is that we should now guaran tee the boundaries of France; that we should undoubtedly go there with our Army, with our men, with our military force; ln othef words, that we should give a guaranty, which guaranty would necessarily have to be backed up by military force under the pres ent policies of France. Thelfth proposition which M. Clem enceau submitted to us was that the Monroe doctrine Is obsolete; that it was a very good doctrine for the coun try when it was young, but to use his expression tha doctrine of a child or the policy of a child is not the correct doctrine or policy for a mature man. , We are advised, therefore, that this policy, which Is purely an American policy, distinctly an Individual policy, so far as the Nation is concerned, and on which has been very highly prised br the people of the United States, and which, ln my Judgment, Is still a cherished policy, Is now obsolete an interesting suggestion.
